What To Do After Your CoolSculpting Treatment

First of all, thanks for coming in! Second of all, congrats! You’re one step closer to a more sculpted body. However, results vary and the *best* results depend on you, and whether you read, understand and actually do everything on this list. Questions? Give us a call! 

Before we get into your post-care instructions, here’s what you can expect in terms of results. Within a few days following your treatment, your immune system will naturally and gradually begin to eliminate the injured fat cells. Some patients begin to notice results in as early as four weeks, while most begin to notice them closer to eight weeks post-treatment. Your results will continue to show gradually over the next four months—the total amount of time it takes for up to 25% of the treated fat cells to be eliminated.

Remember: CoolSculpting is meant to work WITH your healthy lifestyle—not in place of it. You’ll achieve the best results if you continue to maintain a healthy diet and regular exercise routine post-treatment.

There’s typically minimal recovery time with Coolsculpting, but we recommend you avoid high, direct heat and activities that cause strain or increase your body temperature such as heavy lifting or vigorous exercise 24 hours following your treatment.

What To Do If You Experience These Common Side Effects….

You may experience a dull ache, an occasional “zinger” (nerve discomfort), cramping, tingling, numbness, swelling or bloating in the treated area following your treatment, which can last up to four weeks. Here’s what you can do to help alleviate these side effects:

FOR DISCOMFORT OR SWELLING

FOR ITCHING

We recommend taking oral liquid Benadryl®, Allegra® or Claritin® (antihistamines available over-the-counter) as needed, as well as applying hydrocortisone 1% and Vaseline® or Aquaphor® to the affected area up to three times per day until it resolves.

FOR BRUISING 

Bruising can occur due to the strong suction on the applicators and usually resolves within three to seven days. Continue to avoid alcohol until resolved.
